Reports emerging from DeMbare DotComs suggest that Zimbabwe’s most decorated football club, Dynamos FC, could be on the verge of a major ownership shake-up.
According to the reports, Presidential Advisor Paul Tungwarara is seeking to become the majority shareholder of Dynamos Pvt Ltd. At present, Bernard “Magitare” Marriott Lusengo holds a controlling 51 percent stake in the club, while Tungwarara owns the remaining 49 percent after buying out the other seven shareholders.
Developments reportedly intensified on Tuesday as a high-level meeting took place at Dynamos’ offices at the National Sports Stadium. Sources indicate that Tungwarara is pushing to acquire a further two percent shareholding from Marriott, a move that would hand him majority control of the Glamour Boys.
As part of the proposed deal, Marriott is allegedly being offered a package that includes a residential house, US$150,000 in cash, and a monthly salary of US$3,000. The incentives are said to be aimed at persuading him to relinquish the small but decisive shareholding that currently secures his control of the club.
If concluded, the transaction would mark a significant turning point in Dynamos’ governance and could usher in a new era for the Harare giants, who have in recent seasons struggled both on and off the pitch.
Neither Dynamos FC nor the individuals involved had issued an official statement at the time of writing. However, the developments have already sparked intense debate among supporters, many of whom are eager to see stability, fresh investment, and a clear vision for the club’s future.
As negotiations continue, all eyes remain on the National Sports Stadium, where the fate of one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic football institutions may soon be decided.
